Abstract

A difference determination unit ( 22 ) determines whether there is a difference between source design data and destination design data associated with the source design data. The source design data is design data of a source device, which is a device used as a base. The destination design data is design data of a diverted device designed by diverting the source device. A data display unit ( 23 ) displays target data including the source design data, the destination design data, and derived data generated by making a change to the source design data. The data display unit ( 23 ) changes a display format of the target data, depending on whether it has been determined that there is a difference.
